Spontaneous Panic Attacks

Many people experience what is called spontaneous panic attacks.

These panic experiences seem to come of out nowhere, leaving the sufferer feeling
as if they were caught off guard.

Since these attacks seem to happen without warning, people who suffer
from them begin to walk around in fear of when the next one might come.
They find it hard to do anything without that fear being present in the
subconsious part of the mind.

For this reason alone, prompt education is needed in the early stages so that
avoidance behaviors do not develop, such as agoraphobia.

Spontaneous panic is seen as "unprovoked" panic since the sufferer cannot
identify a specific reason for their experience.

These attacks can also occur in the middle of the night and disrupt your sleep cycle.
They are also known as, nocturnal panic attacks.

Are they really unprovoked?

Although panic attacks can happen spontaneously, they are almost always provoked,
even if with a simple fleeting thought. Though you may not see a real reason for your panic, your subconsious mind holds the answer.

Unlike
situational panic attacks, where panic revolves around a specific activity or situation,
spontaneous panic attacks are random and do not attach themselves to
anything specific. However, it is important to note that spontaneous
panic attacks can develop into situational panic,
specific phobias, and
agoraphobia if not completely understood and early intervention is not received.

The most important thing you need to recognize about panic is that panic repeats
the same cycle everytime. It may fluctuate with intensity but in all reality, the panic
response is predictable, following the same pattern with every experience.

Whether your attacks are situational or spontaneous, the fact remains, a panic
attack is a panic attack!
